Welcome to Jujutsu High
Yotsuya Miko was already feeling a bit awkward since it was her first time visiting Shinomiya Kaguya's house, and seeing the girl from the Jujutsu High staring at her with such a suspicious look made her even more uncomfortable.
Shinomiya Kaguya would naturally not doubt the authenticity of Yotsuya Miko.
The You Know Who confirmed it, Yotsuya Miko herself admitted it. The Shitamachi Godmother also confirmed that although Yotsuya Miko could not sense any Spiritual Power, she did indeed have a pair of rather "amazing" eyes.
Therefore, she took the initiative to chat with Yotsuya Miko to ease her discomfort.
When Yotsuya Miko sat down, Kasumi Miwa asked her about the appearance of the Vengeful Spirit she had seen.
After asking several questions, Yotsuya Miko was able to accurately describe the other person's appearance and characteristics, and Kasumi Miwa had to admit that Yotsuya Miko at least had no problems in her descriptions.
Even when Yotsuya Miko mentioned that she had to suppress her fear and pretend that she couldn't see anything when faced with the constant questioning from those Vengeful Spirit, her genuine emotions didn't seem like an act at all.
Yotsuya Miko almost let slip about the Diary here, but the blocking mechanism between the two prevented Kasumi Miwa from noticing anything wrong.
"I've never heard of someone possessing advanced Spirit Vision without awakened Spiritual Power," Kasumi Miwa frowned and thought for a long time before finally shaking her head, indicating that she really had never heard of such a situation.
In any case, she couldn't tell whether what Yotsuya Miko said was true or false.
"However, we're going to Tokyo Sorcery High soon. Both the principal of Tokyo Sorcery High and that Satoru Gojo are very knowledgeable people. They must know your current situation!"
Kasumi Miwa is very confident about this.
Yotsuya Miko also had a look of expectation in her eyes.
"Have you really awakened the Spirit Vision? I can't tell at all!"
As the blindfolded man beside her scrutinized her, Yotsuya Miko felt uneasy, even though she couldn't sense his gaze.
Kasumi Miwa, standing to the side, stared at the man with sparkling eyes, frantically reminding herself not to lose her composure in front of her Idol.
At least, we should wait until the two girls she brought with her have gone in for their interviews before making any decisions.
Therefore, Kasumi Miwa then began to explain the situation of Yotsuya Satoru Gojo to Yotsuya Miko.
They had driven for over an hour, from downtown Tokyo all the way to a remote mountain on the outskirts of Tokyo, before finally arriving at this Jujutsu High.
Then, while they were explaining the situation to the principal of Tokyo Sorcery High, they ran into Satoru Gojo, who had just woken up and was still yawning.
Then, Kasumi Miwa immediately recognized Satoru Gojo and greeted him warmly, drawing Satoru Gojo's attention.
Upon hearing that Shinomiya Kaguya was initially favored by the Kyoto but ultimately preferred to attend the Tokyo Sorcery High, this top-tier Sorcerers adopted a matter-of-fact expression.
"After all, I'm the homeroom teacher for first grade this year, so it's only natural that they would choose my side."
With just one sentence, coupled with the other person's hearty laughter, Shinomiya Kaguya realized that this guy's personality seemed a bit eccentric and wicked.
She even had a premonition as to why the You Know Who wrote in his diary that after the death of this strongest Sorcerers, no disciples mourned for him.
But on the surface, Shinomiya Kaguya is still very polite.
Then, Satoru Gojo stared at Yotsuya Miko, a girl whose appearance didn't seem particularly special, and asked her why she had come.
However, under Yotsuya Miko's expectant gaze, Satoru Gojo scrutinized him for a while longer before finally shrugging and indicating that he didn't know either.
This direct admission of not knowing not only disappointed Yotsuya Miko, but also left Kasumi Miwa, a big fan of Satoru Gojo, speechless.
"But aren't you the strongest Sorcerers? How could you not know?"
"Well, even the strongest Sorcerers isn't omniscient," Satoru Gojo said casually, waving his hand to indicate that he wasn't the strongest in terms of knowledge.
"After all, the mysterious decline lasted for more than a century, and the recovery has only occurred in the last twenty years," Satoru Gojo said, pointing to the corresponding numbers with his fingers as he spoke.
"In just over a hundred years, the total number of humans has jumped from over a billion to over seven billion."
"Logically speaking, the number of us superhumans should be six or seven times greater, but in reality, the number of superhumans in the Reverse Side World is much less than it was a hundred years ago."
"Perhaps to make up for the missing hundred years, since the Mystery Revival, all sorts of people with abilities that have never appeared before have become more numerous, such as you, and this girl with eye problems."
Satoru Gojo said this, he first pointed to Shinomiya Kaguya, indicating that he could see the special power that arose from her breathing within her, and then pointed to Yotsuya Miko's eyes.
Although he couldn't sense any Spiritual Power, after careful observation, he could still detect a faint, unseen power in the other person's eyes.
He continued joking with the girls, "Speaking of which, if it were a hundred years ago, people like you who have gained extraordinary powers that have never appeared before would have a high chance of being given a 'sealing order' by a certain magic association after entering the Reverse Side World, if it were discovered that your powers could not be inherited. You would have been captured and put into formaldehyde."
Seeing the resistance on the two girls' faces, he clapped his hands with a smile, "Just kidding. That association suffered particularly heavy losses during the mysterious decline. It was probably four or five times worse than the situation in our Jujutsu Society. Those old guys still haven't figured out their own magic concepts, so they have no intention of doing any more sealing designations."
Satoru Gojo casually recounted the secrets of these other forces, then realized that the two girls in front of him had not yet enrolled, so he waved to them again.
"You're going to see the principal, right? I'll take you there. Maybe I can put in a good word for you. After all, I'd really like to have a couple more cute girls in my class."
Chapter 152: Welcome to the Jujutsu High
Why do you want to come to the Jujutsu High?
In an empty house.
A middle-aged man sitting on the ground, wearing sunglasses and looking like a gangster, stared at Yotsuya Miko with a scrutinizing gaze.
If it weren't for the fact that the other person had quite a few cute-looking wooden carvings and dolls in their hands and around them, which reduced the oppressive feeling emanating from them, Yotsuya Miko felt that she probably wouldn't have been able to utter a single word under their gaze.
Is this Masamichi Yaga, the Tokyo Sorcery High?
Feeling the other person's gaze, Yotsuya Miko was momentarily at a loss for words to answer their question.
Shinomiya Kaguya, who was standing next to her, stepped forward first and introduced herself to the other woman.
Although Satoru Gojo, who brought them here, had already briefly told the principal about their situation, it was obviously more sincere to repeat the introduction himself.
Incidentally, since Kasumi Miwa is from another school, she is currently waiting for them to come out alone outside the house.
"I am Shinomiya Kaguya, and I joined the Jujutsu High to—"
She had barely uttered her name when she was interrupted.
"I know who you are, and I know why you're here."
With a wave of his hand, Masamichi Yaga told Shinomiya Kaguya that she didn't need to say anything more.
As one of Japan's leading super-conglomerates, the Shinomiya Conglomerate has some connections with the Reverse Side World.
However, because the main Shinomiya Conglomerate is located in Kyoto, it has closer ties with the supernatural forces in Kyoto.
However, Masamichi Yaga also knew that one of the Shinomiya Family's daughters had recently awakened some kind of extraordinary power, and the Shinomiya Family's headmaster was currently trying to find a backer for his daughter in the Reverse Side World.
He originally thought that she would go to the more conservative and traditional Kyoto Jujutsu High as her father wished, but he did not expect her to choose to come to him so decisively.
Thinking of this, he looked at the girl in front of him who had an exceptionally strong life energy.
Such abundant life energy, and it seems to be sustained by breathing alone—what an interesting ability.
"Someone like you, I can see your ambition and pursuit just by looking at you. Even if I don't let you enroll, you'll still find a way to join other supernatural forces."
Upon hearing this, Shinomiya Kaguya's expression became much more serious.
While she doesn't consider ambition a derogatory term, it's also not considered a positive one by most people.
Unexpectedly, after just one meeting with the principal, the principal immediately saw through my intention to join the Jujutsu High.
But judging from the other party's words...
It seems she has already qualified for admission?
She turned her head to look at Satoru Gojo, who was now a little more serious.
In response, Satoru Gojo simply nodded at her.
"In the Jujutsu Society, one must have aspirations and ambitions to be qualified to become a strong person."
As he said this, he pointed to himself with considerable narcissism.
"And with me, the strongest teacher, here, no matter how ambitious you are, I can handle you!"
He spoke with great confidence.
If I hadn't already known from the You Know Who's diary that his fate was to be cut in half at the waist by the Sukuna, King of Curses from a thousand years ago...
Seemingly sensing the doubt in Shinomiya Kaguya's eyes, Satoru Gojo leaned a little closer. "It seems you don't quite believe what I'm saying, but that's normal, since you're just ordinary people who have just entered this world. But you'll soon find out, after all, my reputation is quite renowned throughout the entire Reverse Side World!"
This guy is so narcissistic.
Shinomiya Kaguya made this assessment in her mind, while forcing a smile in response.
So, was he directly admitted to this school just because of the ambition he displayed?
But Yotsuya Miko was by her side?
She looked at Masamichi Yaga again; clearly, he was still waiting for Yotsuya Miko to give her answer.
Yotsuya Miko still has those eyes that even Satoru Gojo couldn't see anything with, so why does she have to be questioned like this again?
Is it because Yotsuya Miko didn't show her ambition and desire?
The requirements to become Sorcerers are really complicated.
Meanwhile, Miko Yotsuya Miko felt a pang of envy seeing Shinomiya Kaguya become a student at the Jujutsu High with almost no setbacks.
But compared to Shinomiya Kaguya, she doesn't seem to have any particular ambitions.
So when faced with the principal's question, she hesitated for a moment before finally giving her true thoughts.
"I want to get rid of my eye problem... because of these eyes, my life has been a mess for the past few months, and every day I have to find a way to pretend I can't see those things..."
"What if I made it so that you could never see those things again?"
Masamichi Yaga asked a rhetorical question.
Upon hearing the other person's words, a hint of joy appeared in Yotsuya Miko's eyes.
"Is it possible?"
She remembered that the You Know Who had mentioned in his diary a "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" that could suppress her eyes. Could this principal possibly produce a similar prop?
But the next moment, Masamichi Yaga's question left her unsure how to answer.
"So, as long as your eye problem can be solved, you don't actually have any other ideas about joining the Jujutsu High?"
Even Yotsuya Miko could realize that this problem seemed to be a trap.
Because she really didn't have any obsession with joining the Jujutsu High; she simply wanted to figure out what was wrong with her eyes.
If she could solve her eye problem, she should be able to live a peaceful life like the other girls in the group.
If I give that answer now, I'm afraid I'll be rejected outright.
Seeing Yotsuya Miko's hesitation, Masamichi Yaga further explained to her what she would need to do after joining the Jujutsu High.
"Although it hasn't been confirmed yet, according to Wu and yourself, you have a pair of rather advanced Spirit Vision. Compared to ordinary people who can see cursed spirits by chance, your eyes can see more of the truth of this world."
"You've seen the ugly and creepy appearance of those high-level Vengeful Spirit, haven't you? In recent years, the growth rate of the number of superhumans has been far slower than the birth rate of Vengeful Spirit and cursed spirits. If you join the Jujutsu High, you'll probably have to deal with those guys up close almost every day in the future."
"Besides those Vengeful Spirit, you will often see crime scenes where ordinary people are cursed and tortured to death. Such scenes are much more unacceptable than simple cursed spirits, and that is the job of us Sorcerers."
"If you're not mentally prepared, it's better for you to go back to being an ordinary person. Otherwise, if you face any danger because of today's choice in the future, I don't want you to regret your choice before you die."
Among those present, perhaps only Satoru Gojo could sense that when Masamichi Yaga said those words, he was subtly using some Cursed Energy to increase his oppressive aura and force Yotsuya Miko to make a choice.
It's really heartless to treat such a cute girl like this.
However, Satoru Gojo always agreed with what Masamichi Yaga said.
Without being prepared to die at any time, it's difficult to go all the way on the path of Sorcerers.
Looks like I'm going to lose one of my lovely female students.
Satoru Gojo felt a little regretful.
However, for Yotsuya Miko, the constant reminders from Masamichi Yaga about how dangerous the life of Sorcerers was, along with the oppressive force of the Cursed Energy, immediately brought back memories of the dangers she had encountered after obtaining these eyes.
On the bus, at school, while shopping with friends...
Even when she was sleeping, several vengeful Vengeful Spirit with regretful appearances would inexplicably crawl out of her bed, making it impossible for her to sleep well.
Although these little ghosts can no longer be seen in his home, the spirit of his father, who died a year ago, has reappeared, along with a high-level Vengeful Spirit that looks equally terrifying beside his father.
If only we could finally put an end to those Vengeful Spirit...
Yotsuya Miko continued to think in this direction.
Just as Yotsuya Miko was about to speak, a familiar tremor pulled her back from the oppressive feeling.
Her mind instantly cleared up again.
